COBLESKILL — Planned Parenthood of Greater New York will be closing 3 clinics in New York, Cobleskill, Amsterdam, and Goshen as stated by Chelly Hogan President and CEO of Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood.  These closures will leave many clients without reproductive health services including birth control, low-cost abortions, and routine checkups.  There is a Cobleskill community Zoom meeting on August 15th about the closing.  The leadership will talk about Cobleskill’s closure and discuss resources for current and future patients.  The organization is citing financial difficulties caused from systematic failures in the health care system as their main reason for closing.  The organization needs to reduce financial needs and consolidate to keep afloat.  Clients from Cobleskill and Amsterdam will be redirected to Schenectady and Johnstown locations.  They will also offer telehealth services.  

Planned Parenthood is a nonprofit organization that provides education, and reproductive healthcare in our community. They offer a range of services, STD testing and treatment, cancer screening, birth control, pregnancy testing and abortion services, and sex education. There is no date as to when the closing will be, but we will keep you informed when more information is available.
